Celtics have completed the NBA's version of Amen Corner with three tough Western Conference Road Games in 4 nights. They had two great road wins at the Lakers and at Portland. They were outplayed against a sharp Denver club who won in Cleveland just recently but they did not quit and came back from a twenty point deficit before they ran into a buzzsaw. Denver can easily give the Lakers a lot of trouble late this spring.
So it looks like the Celtics are coming out of their six week hibernation where they went 9 and 13 and lost significant ground in the standings.
A lot of the media still believes in the Celtics. I think better days are ahead but I know we are probably not the best team running around out there. There is too much good competition as has been demonstrated. Even Cleveland is losing some games right now. Atlanta blew an 18 point second half lead in Golden State last night. The Magic are a bit inconsistent, too. Nobody is invincable.
